CASEMATE ILLUSTRATED SPECIAL: GERMAN FIGHTER AIRCRAFT IN WORLD WAR I: DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND INNOVATION

Book ID/图书代码： 02820020C00004

English Summary/英文概要： Fighter aircraft were developed during World War I at an unprecedented rate, as nascent air forces sought to achieve and maintain air supremacy. German manufacturers innovated at top speed, while constantly scrutinizing the development of new enemy aircraft. The Germans also utilized the concept of systematic production or modular engineering during the war--Fokker capitalized on this aspect with all his aircraft built in a similar fashion--wooden wings with welded steel fuselages. This meant that they could be disassembled or reassembled quickly in the field--unlike many Allied aircraft. Pfalz and Albatros were the first to realize the importance of a streamlined fuselage--the precursor to all that would follow. Both of these companies built semi-monocoque fuselages using plywood to develop semi-stressed skin--the Allies had nothing like this. The Germans also perfected powerful inline engines, as exemplified by the Albatros fighters. These engines did not have the gyroscopic effect of the rotary engines and as such were easier and more stable to fly. Fokker was slow to give up his rotary engines but once he did, the result was the iconic Fokker D VII--years ahead of its time and the only aircraft specifically mentioned in the Treaty of Versailles that Germany could not build after the war.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 战斗机在第一次世界大战期间以前所未有的速度发展，当时新生的空军试图实现并保持空中霸主地位。德国制造商以最高速度进行创新，同时不断审查新型敌机的研发。德军在战争期间也采用了系统化生产或模块化工程的概念——福克利用了这一点，他所有的飞机都是以类似的方式制造的——木质机翼和焊接钢机身。这意味着它们可以在战场上迅速拆卸或重新组装——不像许多盟军飞机。是普法尔兹和信天翁首先意识到流线型机身的重要性的——这是接下来所有事情的前兆。这两家公司都用胶合板制造了半单体机身，以开发半承压蒙皮——盟军根本没有这样的产品。德国人还完善了强大的直列式发动机，信天翁战斗机就是一个例子。这些发动机没有旋转发动机的陀螺效应，因此更容易和更稳定的飞行。福克放弃了他的旋转引擎，但一旦他放弃了，结果就是标志性的福克D七——比它的时代提前了好几年，也是《凡尔赛条约》中唯一一架在战后德国无法建造的飞机。（WYL)
